I noticed this line in the minutes from Noisebridge's meeting on Tuesday (I have no idea what day it is there now for you all, Wednesday?):

"We have 45 members, and 14 regular donors. 31 regular, 18 people paying starving hackers, 2 doing well hackers."

So, while Noisebridge has a 200+ member active community of people going in and out of there for events, they really only have about double our membership.

I had to read that sentence a half dozen times, I think what it's saying is:

45 official members on the books
14 non-members who donate regularly
---------
31 pay standard rate (40)
18 pay starving rate (80)
2 pay "doing well" rate (160)

Which is 51 total paying people


For comparison, here is AMT's stats for august:

22 official members on the books
3 non-members who donate regularly
------
9 pay standard rate (40)
9 pay starving rate (80)
3 pay more (one each at 120, 160, and 250)

21 total paying people


BTW: We were in the hole -$72 last month. We do have a little bit saved up,
so we'll make it for the next couple months, but without new members we
might be in trouble. Tell your friends! Your wife's friends! Random people
on the street!

PS: It's Thursday morning now.

So it's basically just a general hackery meetup, that also has a potluck and
some 5-minute "lightning talks"? Sounds good... HD is a bit of a drive for
me though. Hopefully if I can't make it, someone else can & we can get our
name out there in case there are other people commuting to HD from east bay
who somehow haven't heard of AMT.

Message-ID: <CAKAa+-0PjP_2FdjEi0BgmDkfZL=MY663sKS8FK8dOk38po9vbg@mail.gmail.com>

I am a fine art photographer and am working on documenting places where real
people make and fix real things using tools of all kinds. I especially like
to photograph places where people hit, bend, cut, melt, twist and mash
things. Most of all I like places where people have been doing this for a
while so there is just a whole lotta stuff all over the place. I would like
a chance to shoot the Ace place and any other place that may be photogenic.
You can see some examples of my work at my Facebook page: Gary Weiner

So tonight (9/1) we didn't have a meeting. This is the second week in a row
that we didn't have a meeting. (Could be losing track of days again, may
have been second time in 3 weeks). Anyway, this is *not* good. We need to
have regular meetings to meet our 501(c)3 status stuffs. Also, it's just bad
to have only a few people there if visitors show up (like a lot did
tonight).

The reason for the lack of meetings is: lack of members! As David said too,
we were short 73 bucks last month which strangely enough is close to the $80
a month that a standard hacker pays. In addition, the laser usage is WAY
down from last month. By my calculations, Costa and I are the largest users
of laser time.

We *need* to get more members ASAP or at least members that enjoy the space
more. I have a great time tonight introducing parents and their kids to
everything at Ace but those are not members. Memberwise, myself, Christian,
Costa and Mike showed up. We need to absolutely have *more* members showing
up at these meetings.

I fear if the lack of members situation is not resolved soon, we will have
more issues with less and less people showing up eventually just no one
showing up because they know no one else will.

Thoughts?

P.S. I filed the East Bay Mini Maker Faire application today!

I don't understand, if tonight wasn't a meeting then what do you call it
when several members plus a couple new people show up at the space at
meeting time on meeting night?

By "not a meeting" I mean that I didn't do old business and new business and
stuff simply because there weren't enough members IMHO. Also, there were
kids that were not going to let us get anything done. IIRC there is a quorum
of 5 members, we had 4. (Me, Costa, Christian, Mike)

Oh yeah, blame it on the kids... I still think it would be more productive

Hi Folks,

Because of decreased interest, I'm going to change the format of the
python class. Instead, we're going to run general computer programming
office hours, and Costa is going to assist me as our local
windows/security expert.

What this means for you is not too much. I'll still be there,
answering questions by rambling for a bit, but I'm going to open it up
to non-python languages as well. I won't have any more specific
lessons in mind. For more structured learning, I highly recommend
either finishing Zed Shaw's Python the Hard Way, or hitting up
http://www.codecademy.com.

That said, next week I'm going to hold extra special office hours on
some indeterminate day (possibly Thursday) in preparation for
something someone once called "Learn Python Th Hardest Way," the
PyWeek challenge (http://pyweek.org/). It's a semi-annual game
programming jam: You have 7 days to build a game from start to finish.
I encourage everyone to participate, as programming is pretty much the
only real way to learn programming. Extra special office hours means
you should feel free to pick my brain about _any_ game programming
anything.

This includes 2d graphics (I'm a fair hand with photoshop):
http://adventureburrito.com/mafia/vigilante.jpg
And even some 3d stuff: http://adventureburrito.com/old3d/dino03_640.jpg
And heck, I can probably help you knock out a highly questionable
dubstep backing track if it comes to that. Sadly, my knowledge of
sound effects pretty much stops at "smash a watermelon with a hammer
to make gib sounds", but I'm sure we can figure something out... or we
could smash watermelons with hammers.

So! Everyone who wants to participate, come on down, form teams, learn
new things, etc. Special office hours will extend into the week of the
competition as people request it, and at the very least, I'm going to
try to throw my own entry into the ring, so you can come watch me
code. For the lazy, I'll see if I can find a way to livestream it so
you can watch me write for loops from the comfort of your couch!

Happy python programming, people. HISSSSSSS.

In the near future, I will be presenting my series of classes entitled
"Learning PHP The Easy Way: Without a Framework" covering such topics as
"How to *not* secure your MySQL driver against SQL Injections" and "How to
write your whole application in a single file".

Also, I plan to teach you how to get a superhackerblog running Jekyll going
on Github pages soon. For inspiration, check out robbie.io

No promises, but I have been looking for a more hardware oriented
hackerspace to either join, or at least checkout once in a while.  I,
unfortunately, cannot make your meetings because I have class, but I'd be
able to check out your place on a weekend.  Anyone ever around on a Sunday?
 My friend also wanted to come check out your facility.

some stuff I want to work on anyway. Anyone else free tomorrow?

Sounds good to me, I'll be there as long as someone is there to meet us.  My friend is free then too.

Message-ID: <CACPbZv34gbgAW3r4XTWUTYbL4UkxV_SfwmZQF2wk99+VvLUJwQ@mail.gmail.com>

Hi all:

I recently found the wiki posting from your site of the book scanner kit (
http://wiki.acemonstertoys.org/Book_Scanner), but was saddened to see no
recent edits, follow-ups, or price listings.

Excuse any ignorance on my part, but my questions are three: is this project
something available, and if so, how much is the kit and shipping?  Finally,
whom do I need to get into contact with to purchase one of these kits?

Thanks so much, and I hope to hear from you soon (mike.repas at gmail.com is
the preferred contact method).

Mike

Looks like my group has grown.  We now have 4 people (including myself) who
want to see your hackerspace.

So, 2pm tomorrow?

Hey Everyone,

Super bored today. I went ahead and setup the MX records correctly so Google
Apps is now enabled for the domain. This means that I am soon going to start
handing out accounts to any and everyone who wants one.

Also, this is a test message. Please respond to it if you received it. I had
to remove an MX record placed long ago and am not sure if it may have harmed
the Mailman setup.

Thanks,

give 5 accounts now, right?

No we don't have nonprofit status yet. We can't get to nonprofit google apps
until we have 501(c)3 issued. Also, the free plan we signed up for at the
time has 50 free accounts.

No Terry. You can have terryewing at acemonstertoys.org and like it

Message-ID: <CAPs-5xW-ig3ih2osEOHjqFC8CepVE4cFcGV9m7VZXYy5G1g0Tw@mail.gmail.com>

Greetings Programs!

I wrote up a quick script last night so that door access triggers two
events: 1. The IRC channel is alerted that someone just entered the space.
2. The script will send a tweet to @AMTStatus.

There is a customization option in here that you can opt-in to make use of.
You can go into your profile on acemonstertoys.org, click edit, then click
Personal Information and put some text in under Name for @AMTStatus and it
will prepend the tweet and IRC message with whatever text you put in there.
Mine currently says ". at robbie" so that people know that I entered the space.
The full tweet would say:
". at robbie just entered the space! View live: http://goo.gl/fuLUu"

You don't have to put something in here, but if you want to you can. It also
doesn't need to be a Twitter name by any means.

Hey guys,

Sorry for the late response.  I'm not sure if anyone of our group got on IRC
to let you know we weren't coming.  We were up super late at Super Happy Dev
House and sort of slept the day away.

However, if you'll be around next Sunday, or the Sunday after, etc..we're
there!

 As previously stated in IRC (Internet Relay Chat), I have a prior engagement tonight which is going to force me to miss this meeting. I shall return next week though, with 4-5 friends in tow! (<-- rhyme!) 

That means you have to stay classy without me tonight!

Message-ID: <CAPs-5xULjO_qXQy-dvYuJaJ_-_rBCvAk3BT42hpnjnSTgOHs9g@mail.gmail.com>

It's September which means it is quarterly meeting time! I propose the
quarterly meeting takes place either this Thursday (September 15th) or next
Thursday (September 22nd) at 7:30.

Why is a quarterly meeting so special? It's the one and only time that we
can induct new members! Are you currently a provisional member? Great, now
is your time to shine! Make sure you come to the meeting (on whatever day it
is) so we can judge you based on your last few weeks/months with us and then
make a decision if we as a group like you enough to let you in! (or I guess,
dis-like you enough to not let you in).

If you are unable to attend and you are a provisional member, you are
allowed to designate a proxy who will be at the meeting so you can still get
voted in.

I will be a proxy for anyone who needs it. Please send me an email or
contact me on IRC letting me know you need me to be your proxy.

Thanks!

I would say the 22 to give people lead time. I don't know that we have anyone to vote on.

I'm considering buying a couple USB pkcs11 smart card devices.  Either the cryptoken m2048 or feitian usb devices. They're about $50 each, less if you buy in quantity. 

I'm also interested in the yubico.com/yubikey hardware, which is about $20 if bought in 10 or more. 

Any interest? Anyone going to europe or asia where Feitian hardware is easier to buy?

Good news everyone!

This morning I signed us up for the $100 of free Reddit ad credit they were
handing out to Non Profits. Our ad got accepted and is now live for 3 days
between September 25 and September 28.

The text reads:

"[NPO] Ace Monster Toys, your friendly local Bay Area hackerspace!"

(The [NPO] was added by them to let people know that it is a non profit ad).

It links to http://acemonstertoys.org. I also attached our logo to it, so it
should be shown.

I got $100 of google adwords credit and used it to advertise us as well. I
think we got like 80 clicks and that used up all our credit.

That is awesome guys!

I'm going to do a short session this Thursday (after the main meeting)
on designing a flyer for AMT.
IMPORTANT: If you have any ideas, please jot them down/draw them up
and bring them/email them!

My ideas were on these lines: the flyer would be the size of a quarter
of a Letter size sheet and should probably contain a QR code, address
of AMT, AMT logo, maybe IRC channel, mailing list links, whatever else
you can think of that we could cram on there as far as contacting us.
Also, we could showcase a few projects, maybe some equipment in a
fashion that draws the hacker eye :)

Looking forward to brainstorming some ideas!
Stefan

Subject: [AMTD] Easy way to get a 3d file from the kinect?
Message-ID: <CACAQXeJen4odUNcsX_A_tHxavttbLUs0wR3cTGnhUcRuhhJweQ@mail.gmail.com>

Hey Cliff,

You did some Kinect stuff before -- is there any easy way that I can run a
script and have it spit out a 3d file? I didn't see anything easy in a quick
search. The simplest I found was this guy's:

http://codelaboratories.com/nui/

You just install one exe then run his sample app, but it didn't have any
export features.

"the barn at the Haas-ienda" is not enough for me to figure out where this
is. Anyone have any ideas?

Message-ID: <4E723C8F.6020600@openbuddha.com>

My work just gave me an Asus Transformer and keyboard dock for it.

Because of this, I don't need the Xoom Tablet I got about five weeks ago.

It is a Motorola XOOM 10.1? 32GB Android Tablet with Wi-F.

I'm interested in selling it for $300 so I figured I'd mention it here 
before I put it on Craigslist. If anyone is interested in it, please let 
me know.

From my wife:

> We're not organizing this. They need to check with the people who run it if they want to know that. If it's similar to how we do things for MF, they would need to work at least as many hours as volunteers to get a free ticket. East Bay Mini Maker Faire is a fundraiser for a school, so if they can afford to do so, they may as well buy a ticket.

Message-ID: <CADV4R=TiLBsWZXaUm3mTkJsz+naGN3DnaMM7JQaD_=gq732vWg@mail.gmail.com>

Hello again. Thanks for giving us a tour of your space a few weeks ago, and
for watching our kids! Since then, we have launched Mothership HackerMoms
and are meeting weekly in home rotations on Thursday nights, same as yours,
but from 6:30-8:30. We also got into Make Magazine's blog unexpectedly and
someone on the East Coast heard about our venture and wants to start a
hacermomspace too. So exciting!

I wanted to ask if I could bring our core group to meet you guys and see
what a healthy mature hackerspace looks like. If say next Thursday night
works for you, it's great for us. But let me know? I also want to know more
about your Mini Maker Faire projects.


Thanks,
Sho Sho

Hi Sho Sho,

We are having a meeting tonight at 7:30 if you want to come to that. Next
week may not be the best because we need to have a quarterly membership
meeting where we will induct new members. However, this has not been firmly
scheduled yet, so it could still work.

It's great to hear about the quick progress of HackerMoms! I saw you
mentioned in Make Magazine too! You may want to get a Twitter going. Let me
know if/when you set one up and we will promote it via @AMT (our Twitter).
Also, we published ourselves on reddit.com and hackerspaces.org, both of
which have brought a lot of new members over the months.

Keep us posted on your progress!

Hi Robbie and Al,

Based on our meeting last night, many of us are interested in visiting you
next Thursday. Couple questions:

-Is it possible to do it a little earlier at 6:30, so you still have time to
have your quarterly meeting? plus we tend to take up a lot of space. but
we'd still like to meet your members too.

-Can our kids come? We'll bring a sitter. My daughter keeps asking about the
laser cutter. it'll be lively.

-Can our husbands come check you out, too?

thanks!

I tried and failed to get any information on 3D captured files from the
kinect. I've seen projects that import the data stream to blender real
time, and other projects that use multiple kinects to get a 360 patched
view if the object. But when I was searching, no one even alluded to
being able to even get a 3D file out, even in a complicated way.

HI!!

I've seen exactly what you are talking about at the 3D Kinect meetup at
downtown microsoft.
They are trying to turn that idea into a product.

The basic idea, and it doesn't matter you are using OpenNI or the
Windows Kinect SDFK, there really is no 3d image.
Its just a big byte array and you build an image from it by giving each
pixel a color based on its distance from the kinect,1.4 meters to 3.5
meters.

The easiest thing to do is serialize the Depth Data byte array to disk
and just build a stand alone reader.

I'm sure I'm not being clear but go to this

http://channel9.msdn.com/Series/KinectSDKQuickstarts

and look at the tutorial Working with Depth Data.
Since each depth data set is unique and because the kinect has such a
limited range to do a 20x20 room can take 1000 data sets and then you
have to stitch them together.

Also lots of good examples here.

http://channel9.msdn.com/coding4fun/kinect

Let me know if I can help.

HI!!

There is no 3D file. There is only a bytearray that contains the
bitmapped data that tells you what the distance of a pixel is from the
kinect. 1.4 meters to 3.5 meters.

An example is you color all the pixels between 1.4 and 2 meters green.
All the pixels between 2.1 and 3.1 meters blue etc. There is no 3D file
looking will only make you go crazy.

You need to write your own viewer to set the color of each pixel
depending on distance. Multiple kinects each produce an independent
bytearray.

look at the tutorial Working with Depth Data.

Thanks for the info, I've been doing more research, and what I've found is
that you can get a 3d cloud of colored points out of the kinect. You then
need some other software to convert a 3d point cloud into a more useful 3d
model (made of polygons/triangles/etc). I've been trying MeshLab, and have
gotten ok results, but there are a ton of different algorithms, parameters,
etc to fool with.

The app I've been using to get the 3d data out (which is what I ws
originally asking about) is called RGBD-Demo. I like the 'reconstruction'
feature, it's similar to the "KinectFusion" demo from microsoft research
http://youtu.be/quGhaggn3cQ (which being microsoft, they of course released
no source or demos i could play with). Unfortunately its much slower and
tends to get out of alignment really quickly.
Anyway, here's a 3d model of me, apparently frozen in carbonite (and for
some reason it makes my nose bigger too)
http://davr.org/uploads/meshlab.png

For future reference, I put links to all the useful software / tutorials I
found at the bottom here:

As an act of passive resistance (aggression?) we should burn "no smoking" on tobacco leaves and put them up around the building.

Hi Jayne,

He's welcome to visit our space, unfortunately we're not really set up as a
kid-centric place, and so we'd have to ask that someone was supervising him
at all times. However we do have a group of people who are working on
building R/C airplanes & meet every other Wednesday evening, and if you (or
another adult) are willing to come with him, he could come and participate
in the discussions. At the very least I bet one of them could use him as
unpaid labor for building their planes ;)

Something else which might helpful to you, is a related group which is just
in the process of forming titled "Mothership HackerMoms". You might want to
talk to them (I've CC'd one of their members in this email). There's a
little blurb half-way down the page on here:
http://blog.makezine.com/archive/2011/09/hackerspace-happenings-milkymist-workshop-mothership-hackermoms.html

Hope this helps,
David R

Getting just the front half of your head via kinect is pretty easy. With a
little more work I think we can come up with a reliable way to get the whole
head. I've been collecting links to resources on the kinect page on the
wiki, at the bottom: http://wiki.acemonstertoys.org/Kinect

If we could get some for the Maker Faire this would be pretty cool.
At the fair we could scan people, I doubt we could print the modeels
there, but it would be an opportunity to get an to send the head along
with a some more info about ace monster toys, something to remind them
about AMT after Maker Faire.

Laser cutting PVC might end complaints about smoking in the building, as well as the smoking itself, and for that matter, breathing.

Do NOT cut occur on the laser! It releases chlorine gas which destroys the
optics. Do not do this. No. PVC bad.

Sorry, I was making a joke.  Chlorine gas is not only bad for the optics, but, far more importantly, for the health of the operator and everybody nearby.

Hey folks,

Just some news, I'm quitting my job and things are getting
crrr-rrrrrazy, so I'm cancelling this week's class. Probably things
will be back to normal next week, but I'm not sure yet. I'll let you
all know what the story is by the weekend. But for now, programming is
off for this week. You might still find Costa there at the usual time,
but you should probably check with him.

This guy has a tutorial on manually combining multiple scans into a single
mesh:
http://www.instructables.com/id/Using-Meshlab-to-Clean-and-Assemble-Laser-Scan-Dat/

Here's a method of doing it automatically, downside is we need to build some
kind of turntable to spin the person as we scan them (or alternatively some
kind of arm to spin the kinect around the person). Also important is high
contrast features around the outside so it can accurately track the
movement:

Well a swivel barstool could easily spin the person, and we could dye
a sheet one of the chroma key colors pretty easy I think.

The background has to move with the person, and the specific color doesn't
matter (to remove the background is easy, since it's in 3d space you just
drag and select it, no mess no fuss). What matters is there are random
high-contrast patches on the background that the algorithm can easily pick
up to do the movement tracking. watch the youtube video to get an idea, we
can just use white cardboard with bits of black tape for example.

Maybe we could build a box with a hole on the bottom that people just put on
their heads, their shoulders holding it up, then spin them around on the
swivel stool?

You can also go quite far with just plain pictures and photogrammetry
software.  There's one or two opensource implementations used in
geography / remote sensing.

On another note, if someone wanted to laser-cut a PVC faceplate I would suggest doing it this way:

1) Laser cut a piece of 1/4 inch plywood with the pattern.

2) sandwich the PVC faceplate between  the laser-cut plywood and a chunk of sacraficial wood such as a scrap of 2x6

3) Use a trim router (link below) or Rotozip with a "pattern bit" (link below) to cut the PVC using the plywood as a pattern.

cheap trim router

cheap pattern bit
http://www.amazon.com/Porter-Cable-43325PC-Pattern-Templet-Bit/dp/B000629MWE

This is a general-purpose way to make a template and apply it to another part.

If any of you aren't following Daniel Reetz on Google Plus, you should be.  He's posted pictures of his newest book scanner build and he's currently presenting it at the Open Hardware Summit.  His newest book scanner looks quite impressive.

He says he wants to get one of these in each of the hackerspaces soon.  Maybe this could be a good time to partner with him to do a share of the manufacturing or packaging for the scanners and help his small-scale production run.

After all, Ace seems to have adopted the bookscanner as one of it's flagship products and Daniel is the father of this technology.

I gift Alice the Cupcake to the org (can I get a receipt, David?).

Once Cliff has a chance to give me his firmware hack, the extruded should quit randomly backing up and it should work fine.

I'm moving on to other printing technologies so I assign ownership to the space.

Daniel and I are already speaking about this, including selling stuff. He was over at my house before the OHS and borrowed a camera lens of mine for his demo there.

He's already decided to give AMT one of the new bookscanners. :-)

I'm sure you know, but for the benefit of everyone else reading: please
please please don't try and claim anything as tax deductible until we get
our 501c3, or it could interfere with the process.

I too look forward to the firmware fix. Haven't quite got desperate enough
to try and re-do the fix myself, but getting close :P

Thanks for that, Terry.

I think Al may have mentioned it, but I may need a space to house my CNC for
about a month. It is a fairly large machine - probably the space would be
out where the workbenches are now. I would be willing to pay AMT for the
privilege as well as to take on AMT improvement projects and cut some
projects on it.

And yes, AMT will most definitely get one of these new scanners. You'll be
among the first four or five.

I'll come by for the Thursday meeting. If it doesn't work, that's no big
deal, I'm sure I can find something or rent something.

Best,
Daniel

Yeah, I personally wont be there, but there should be people there. The
meeting officially is scheduled from 7pm-9pm, but people might show up
earlier or later. If you want you can check our webcam to try and see if
anyone's there yet:
http://vps2.davr.org/amt/ but it's not foolproof, it only covers a section
of the space

Hope this helps,

Hi Jayne,
I'm Aaron, and I'm doing the R/C Workshops on alternating Wednesdays.
I'll be in the space till about 9 this evening unless I'm the only one
here.  I'm at the space now and I plan of working on my plane at
around 7pm.  If you'd like I can go over some R/C basics with you and
your son.  I'm not sure at this point if any one else will be working
on airplanes this evening as the other member that have R/C projects
in the works have other obligations this evening.

-Aaron

You've got a few options:

1. View http://vps2.davr.org/amt/webcam.jpg and hit 'reload' a lot
2. Upgrade to a phone that can view the whole web
3. Write me some ajax that will reload an image every 3 seconds, without
wiping out the previous one during loading (in flash I just used two
separate image objects, and alternated loading one or the other and setting
visibility flags as necessary), also tacking on a ?123123213 random number
to the end of the URL to bypass caching

4. Use standards like HTML5 and Javascript to do a GET from a backend server
with the image data, encoded as base64 and live update it everytime there is
an update. Or, use Pusher <http://pusher.com> which works anywhere
JavaScript works.

Is anyone familiar with a good method of lasercutting parts and minimizing the amount of discoloration on the face of the wood/plastic?  I know it's unavoidable to have charring on the sidewall where the cut occurs, but there must be a good way to keep it off the face.

In the past, I've tried using contact paper to cover both sides but this didn't work and still left the yellow-brown spots near the edges.

Who in AMT is a bitcoin expert? Want to do a short intro for people, focusing on the how's and why's (not just a "what is bitcoin, which I think we all know)?

I'm thinking someone should be capable of doing a couple of hour hands on for the ins and outs of playing around with mining bitcoins and what's going on with that scene.

yes but unless we got the hardware and then electricity free, we'd
spend more $$ than we recouped in bitcoin.  Don't get me wrong, I want
to mine bitcoins too, but I'm not at a point where I can afford the
net loss incurred just to experience the novelty of having some
bitcoins.  I'd rather exchange some.

If you have a source for the hardware and stuff I'd be willing to help
build it out.

Here are some starting links.

Subject: [AMTD] Workday Today
Message-ID: <4E7FA944.5020007@openbuddha.com>

Mike, Stefan, and I worked on the space for a couple of hours today.

The following things have moved/changed/whatever:

1. Couches are moved to form more of a cubby in the corner near the top 
of the stairs.

2. Shelving 'n shit that was in that corner has been moved downstairs 
and consolidated.

3. Desks have been moved to the back (concrete wall).

4. "Food" table that was a mantrap near the entrance upstairs is now in 
the back corner where it makes sense and won't kill anyone.

5. Conduit with somewhat wired power has been run along the top of the 
back wall (suspended from beams). We need more wiring to finish this (we 
were out). Once it is done, we'll have power for the desks on the back 
wall. We'll also be hanging some decent lights so the new couch area has 
its own light that isn't fluorescent.

6. All makerbot ABS is now in the drawers next to the Makerbots.

7. My desk is no longer a complete disaster.

8. Original, mk1, book scanner has been stripped down into component 
parts because we were never going to use it. Myles mentioned taking his, 
mk2, that we had at Maker Faire home. (We'll be getting a mk15 from 
Daniel at some unknown point but soon.)

9. Short table/desk thing has been put in front of whiteboard and 
supplies moved to it. The space in front of the whiteboard and the 
fridge is now clear and open. Please leave it this way (no mantrap).

10. Garbage was all removed. Contractor garbage bags are now in the 
space and the trash can has a bag. When the bag fills, please take it to 
the dumpster and put another one into it.

11. "Treasurer" locker created with one of my locks on it (I'll tell 
David the combination) so people can quit dumping money into my locker. :-)

12. Old white cabinet that was in the space when we moved in has been 
put outside next to the dumpster with "free" on it.

As of last May or whenever I was messing with it, it's fully functional 
with a spool of flux core wire which provides the shielding gas as it 
welds.  So it doesn't require a gas canister, unless someone changes out 
the wire.  We have an auto-darkening helmet (thanks Al) and a couple 
pairs of gloves and a light protective jacket, but no shielding for 
onlookers.  The welder is on one of the back shelves in the back room (I 
saw it there last Thursday) and I expect the other items are nearby.

I don't remember the specs of amperage, wire thickness, etc.  I have the 
impression that it's configurable to weld up to a 1/4" steel plate, but 
don't quote me on it, check the table printed on the inside of the 
fold-up cover on the side of the welder.

it seems like it is measuring air flow, oxygen depletion, (maybe also
carbon dioxide, temperature) while you breathe.
I have to do more digging into how to interpret the data. I've used a
dynamic scanning calorimeter before (to measure protein-protein
thermodynamics and aggregation) but that is not exactly the same.

i would say look up oxygen sensors and flow meters. maybe there is a
way to combine those two to get some data. alternatively, buy a used
device and tear it apart (i have done this with a body bugg, i have
full docs and pics on that) :)

brought up some good links which mention breath acetone and a patent

There's also the emperical method of determining how many calories you burn:
look up the tables on average calories burned based on
gender/weight/activity level, then eat exactly that many calories per day
for a week or two, then based on your change in weight you can determine the
exact number of calories you burn per day. Google 'the hackers diet', it
talks about this.

Wikipedia sez: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calorimetry

Looks like indirect calorimetry works by measuring oxygen content, then
relating that to a burn rate via a statistical model. Although an O2 sensor
is easy enough to arduino up, you'd need a pretty kick ass (low noise) A-D
conversion to do the math. Oh, and you'd also need a statistical model :).

Nothing too intense. You could use ina333 as instrumentation amplifier,
pretty good performance. I have a design for two lead ekg that uses it.

For statistical models, im hoping there is published lit.. otherwise you're
SOL.

Hi all,

So, I need to be out of the Richmond warehouse as of Oct 9. I have
secured storage for most/all my stuff starting Saturday.

Things I can offer AMT/would like to store and use at AMT. Have talked
with Al and others about this but just want to be explicit:

1. 5x9 foot CNC router for making book scanners and other things.
(requires 220+a neutral, I can wire it)
2. Millermatic 211 welder with gas/wire/helmet/etc. Awesome
professional machine. 220 or 120V.
3. Epilog laser (much smaller than your laser).

I have a host of other useful tools that don't take up much space,
like a cold saw for cutting metal, grinder, drills, etc. These tools
can easily live in the space under my CNC. I understand that hooking
up the laser is a pain in the ass so it can also just live in a box
under the CNC. Also, I wouldn't mind teaching some basic welding.

I plan to be at AMT a lot during this time, am happy to pay dues+extra
for the space and access.

I have a truck and the ability to load most of this in/out myself, but
would need a hand with the CNC router as it is large and heavy. Will
probably rent something that can carry it in large pieces.

Best,
Daniel 701-595-2468

PS. There is a chance that I will be working in Utah on a holography
project, if so, I'll probably just put everything in storage and put
the book scanner project on hold.

How about we just remove all the crap that we're storing that isn't a 
usable tool?

We've got a server rack, a vacumn table, and a few piles of other stuff. 
Removing those will help. A few of us rearranged the upstairs a little 
bit last weekend to that end.

We're not out of space by a long shot but we could use the space better 
that we have.

Great. Mike mentioned that Azi has a big truck, I'll write him and
talk about renting it to transport the tools and machine, so we can do
Just One Trip to AMT.

By "same here" did you mean Sunday works for you, Al?

Saturday is my day to move into storage, Sunday can be AMT day. I can
drop by for tomorrow's meeting to help arrange things and drop cash,
if you like.

Thanks guys,
Daniel

That might be a good idea (just to figure out where to put things).

we could try to add some sciency stuff (my roomie might be into doing
some DNA stuff if we need more stuff).
also we can bring his quadcopters - one hand built and a parrot.

I can bring my succulents planter box thing (only problem is it is
falling apart post watering, lol); i need to fix it up a little.

I have a parrot as well but I think we're best served by stuff that 
we've built or that show mad hacker skills. :-)

A selection of cool laser cut stuff might be a good idea as well.

I have a friend of a friend who is head of the company that owns Settlers of Catan.   If someone is willing to print it, I can bring him to the space to check it out.

Does anyone have a good parts list for arducopter frame materials?

As it turns out, other than sonar, I already have the electronics. I 
need a frame and the motors for it.

Aaron has a bunch of good ideas about this.  He's read many build logs on the quadcopters and knows about a lot of the shortcuts such as using graphite golf club shafts salvaged from thrift stores.

Shortcuts that make it faster are good. Less durable, not so good.

I want to try to build one before East Bay Mini Maker Faire.

Maybe "shortcuts" was the wrong word.  I should have said "latest improvements contributed to the forums".  

Aaron has read up quite a bit on DIY quadcopters.  I don't think he's built one yet.

Well, I had a meeting with these guys an hour ago. I have a job in LA
on Wednesday, the 5th, and then work with the holography company until
further notice.

So thank you, AMT, for being so accommodating and awesome, but it is
best for me to put everything in storage ASAP and get out of town.

I'll be back for Mini Maker Faire on the 15th. If someone wants to use
my welding cart between now and then they are certainly welcome. I
will be promoting AMT from my table.

Best,
Daniel

Im guessing if he's trying to sell them for $500 he's not giving out the SVG
files is he? They look a bit nicer than the one on thingiverse.
